Hoke Schools Start Classes August 24

Hoke County Schools' 2026-2027 traditional academic calendar sets Monday, August 24, as the first day of school for students. The date is the main back-to-school milestone for Raeford families after the summer break and applies across the district's traditional calendar. Families should review their individual school's instructions before classes begin, since school-specific information may be issued separately. Several Hoke County schools have also scheduled August open houses and back-to-school activities to help families prepare for the new year.
